Which Provides More Protection? Experimental Jab or Natural Infection, the Numbers Are In
NER: It has long been my preference to get Covid, treat it with what I know will heal me, then remain immune. That’s why I never wear a mask except in a shop, and I make no attempt to protect myself. Including chatting to unmasked, Covid positive people. My body, my choice. If you are vaxxed you must believe you are protected, else why? Hence I am no threat to you so get on with your own life.
Health experts have debated this question for much of COVID-19 hysteria.
Vaccination or natural immunity.
Which offers more protection against COVID-19?
For those who have paid attention, the answer should already be clear:
Study Finds Greater Antibody Response In Recovered COVID-19 Patients Than Vaccinated Ones
A new study has found that individuals that have previously contracted COVID-19 show a more potent antibody response than those who were solely vaccinated for the respiratory virus.
Conducted by a research team at Rockefeller University in New York, the analysis found “that between a first (prime) and second (booster) shot of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, the memory B cells of infection-naïve individuals produced antibodies that evolved increased neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2,” but also that “no additional increase in the potency or breadth of this activity was observed thereafter.”
“Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection produces B-cell responses that continue to evolve for at least one year,” the study read. “During that time, memory B cells express increasingly broad and potent antibodies that are resistant to mutations found in variants of concern.”
The analysis later goes on to conclude, “Memory antibodies selected over time by natural infection have greater potency and breadth than antibodies elicited by vaccination.”
Moreover, the results suggest that “boosting vaccinated individuals with currently available mRNA vaccines would produce a quantitative increase in plasma neutralizing activity but not the qualitative advantage against variants obtained by vaccinating convalescent individuals.”
The study’s findings add to further mounting evidence detailing the level of protection natural immunity offers previously infected COVID-19 patients. Last month, Emory University published an extensive investigation describing the efficiency of long-term immunity against the respiratory virus. Similar discoveries have also been identified in research released by the Cleveland Clinic and the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, respectively.
